Analysis of production systemson the basis of simulation experiment

The paper presents results of research obtained on the basis of simulation experiment, whose aim was to analyze the performance of cast iron foundry The computer model of foundry has been planed and conducted in order to compile the schedule of cast production. On the basis of reports from a simulation experiment information was achieved related to activities’ duration, load of accessible resources, the problems of storage and transport, bottle necks in the system and appearing queues in from of workplaces. The research used a universal modelling and simulation packet for production systems - ARENA.
